Last month, while trying to not think about the three peaks I was about to hike over, and the blisters I'd get, and the sleep I wouldn't get... I went into the West Highland Museum and was excellently distracted. Chatting to staff they explained the constant battle just to keep the cabinets lit, as everything costs money and daft things like light bulbs or wiring going all adds up.

So for £30, Attendants View is going to sponsor a cabinet for a year! But which one? Vote, and the one you like the look of will get our help :D

The Armada collection may look like a pile of pot, but it's a good reminder of Blighty's belligerence in the face of invasion AND has actual pieces of eight - PIRATE MONEY!

Bag Pipes. These are fairly old sets with old stories around them, and I like bag pipe music, and like the idea that they are illegal weapons of war. So... prrraaaappppprrrrp

Charms and Incantations: AKA very odd stuff people thought would protect them or cast benevolent spells... cool in a quite weird and unnerving way. What if they still work?...

Prince Charlie memorabilia, which is touching to look at, as in Scotland you can't escape the legends around him, and seeing his clothes reminds you of the real man behind it.
